Unfortunately he came here after two years at Ypsilanti High School and was thus rendered ineligible. His scholarship is of marked excellence and well deserves more than ordinary recognition.

ROSS FOX Casting Reflections As we near the sunset of our high school days, there rises in our hearts a tinge of regret, the sorrow of departing. Words, in the expression of our feelings, are cold, inane — mere daubs of verbal paint. We have experienced the joy and pain of honest effort. The inspiration of fine ideals and real friendships causes us to expand with the pure joy of living, and instills in us, strength, to meet the burdens and realities of life squarely and unfalteringly. The incidentals of our life here are transient as the reflection of a swallow ' s wing on a glossy pond — a moment, and it is gone. Yet the impress of generalities has become moulded into our very lives which, if not an example for others, we trust have been a credit to ourselves. And now, beyond this early sunset rises a rosy dawn, over a world of limitless opportunity, a world of reality. We thank God that in a measure we are prepared. Work and hope may lessen the pain of parting — their ' s is a supreme benediction. Farewell, Port Huron High School. — W. H. S.

Many have been our experiences within its walls. Whether pleasant or unpleasant they have unfolded and developed our characters and made us more fit for the work before us. It is these same experiences that have led us to a broader understanding and a keener appre- ciation of life and its responsibilities. Our work, our recreation, the lasting friendships formed, endear “Our School” to us and entangle us inseparably with its life. Though it has made mistakes, the Class of 1918 is filled with a modest pride in its work, and as Seniors, we take advantage of the opportunity to impart to the school a few suggestions which we hope will be beneficial. We perceive with a sensation of pleasure the successful operation of Student Government Our school is beginning to recognize the fact that the Student Body is a force which must be efficiently and fairly dealt with — and that under democratic principles. But with this initial success greater respon- sibilities will devolve upon them. We look forward to the institution of the Honor System which is so closely associated with Student Government. It will inspire in every student a sense of straightforwardness and honesty. It will make them clean-cut and reliable. It will promote scholarship and initia- tive. Surely a successful Honor System could do nothing less than bring credit to “Our School.” “Carry On,” Students; your first success opens up new opportunities. Possibly more important, however, is the promotion of scholarship. This year the Senior class has established “Class Day,” and the precedent of rec- ognizing scholarship as a basis for participation. We suggest the organiza- tion of Junior and Senior Scholarship clubs. What a vivifying effect such standards might have, we may little realize. This fact is prominent, however, some students do not realize that their scholarship is a credit or discredit to them, and some incentive must be established. And now we Seniors must look into the future. As we leave “Our School” we are unwilling to think that it is to be completely severed from our lives. Is it to become simply an empty dream, transient, rising out of the past, or will it still remain a reality in our experiences? It has long been evident that the Port Huron High School Alumni Asso- ciation was more passive and inactive than it should be. We realize that the war has disorganized the Alumni. We would not criticize this seeming lack of activity but we would advise the present outgoing Seniors to instill some of their enthusiasm, their “pep” into it, and be instrumental in effecting an efficient reorganization. The advantages of the association are quite obvious. It is the only link between “Our School” and ourselves. Only one link in our chain of life, to be sure. But a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and so we must keep it strong. With a pang of reluctance we realize that we are about to leave “Our School” and its life. But we are happy and hopeful in the thought that it has given us the impetus for our life work. It is that which has endeared it to us —ROBERT M. FARR. In September, 1914 a number of rather green-looking children appeared at the building known as P. H. H. S. They wandered about the halls with frank amazement written on their faces. If one of them struck the right room at the right time, he felt as if the time of miracles was not yet past. Some of them, not being acquainted with the school clocks, thought the teachers “were surely counting time in a peculiar fashion. ” However, they soon learn- ed the ways of the grown-ups and took an active part in school life. The Senior-Freshman party caused many a young heart to flutter with expectation. When the fatal day arrived, each Senior escorted four Freshies to the Auditorium where dancing was the most important feature. No doubt the Seniors had sore feet from the steps of their partners, but they must have been repaid by the shining faces of their guests. The fall of 1915 showed better prospects. The boys had grown into long trousers and the girls had their hair up. This year the class first showed the originality for which it is now so well known. They invited everyone to the Sophomore party. In order to realize money the social committee made red and white bows and sold them to the students. In addition to the dancing w ' ere baby shows and numerous other amusements to entertain those who did not dance. (Ross Fox was one of the prettiest babies there.) Athletics also helped the class to shine. “Dave” Watterworth was cap- tain of the basket ball team which won the Interclass League and established the first claim to the Spaulding Interclass Cup. Then those same little people became learned Juniors, and wonders, too. They elected officers and started their work immediately. Philip Amadou was president and that in itself meant business. Emery Stringer toiled every day to increase the class bank book. I11 February they entertained the Seniors. The clever play “The Pullman Car” was presented before the Seniors in the high school auditorium and a dance was held afterward. It was a grand success. Philip Amadon and War- ren Simms took an active part in debating and Elmer Chamberlain was the orator for the school. His fame reached all over the state. The Juniors again won the basket ball championship. “Dave” Watterworth, “Tuffy” Meno, Finn Holth and many others starred in various activities. Now they are Seniors and preparing to leave the dear old building. Early in the year the political campaigns began and there was much discussion as to who should be president. Finally “Bob” Farr’s popularity won the election for him. Then Warren Simms was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Student Staff. He was one of the most capable boys in the class and everyone was pleased when his appointment was announced. “Dave” Watterworth made an efficient Business Manager of the Student.” i he first party was the one for the Fresh ies. A program was given be- tween dances and everyone had a good time. The Student Staff gave Assem- blies every other hriday in order to raise money as well as bring the classes together. The Juniors and Seniors organized a dramatic club under the direc- tion of Miss Hartsig. The Athletic Association was formed with Gordon Hill as president. 1 his aided the school athletics by swelling the athletic fund and increasing enthusiasm. Student Government was inaugurated for the first time in the history of the school. For a third time the class team won the Interclass Cup in basket ball. It is now theirs forever. The first Class Day will take place under Senior supervision, a monument to scholarship. Commencement week wdll come and go. These class mates wdll separate and depart into the world through different paths, but they will never forget P. H. H. S. and all it did for them, and it is for them to be reminiscent on the many improvements and the example which they have left. —HELEN CANFIELD. IT’S MIGHTY STRANGE, ISN’T IT? That the Seniors have such a large quantity of knowledge; That every pupil’s face darkens when “Blue-Books” are mentioned; That Eddie can’t find a hat large enough to circumnavigate his head ; That somebody doesn’t present the “Freshies” with a book on eticpiette, so they’ll know how to act when they go to see their “Janes;” That Bob Farr succeeded in raising a moustache, but didn’t keep it ; That every student doesn’t buy Thrift Stamps; That every Senior has his picture in the “Student;” That all the girls want to take Manual Training; That the Freshmen can’t remember that “children should be seen and not heard ; That Marjorie Ballentine doesn’t have dates on Friday nights; That Miss Northrup doesn’t assign the wTiole library for one lesson and be done with it ; That the Senior Treasurer has so much money to give to the Red Cross; That the boys were so anxious to go on the farms early ; That the Freshman colors are not just green; That Bob has a lady chauffeur; That the girls do so much “Kaiser’’ knitting; That every student in P. H. H. S. doesn‘t subscribe for the Student, when it’s worth just tw r ice the money. — J. L. F., ’18. In the summer of 1936, I took a trip to Italy. It was very warm and so I chartered a yacht and sailed around those regions. On the Fourth of July our boat entered a narrow passage far from our starting point. It had the appearance of a whirlpool and the captain frantically gave orders to back out. However, they came too late. The boat whirled around and around. I grew dizzy, sick, nauseated — Ye Gods! I was slipping — falling. About three hours later I regained consciousness, and, dragging myself ashore, looked around. High cliffs and white sand were the only things in sight. Queer murmurings and terrible rumblings sounded on every side. The very ground shook under my feet. As I sat wondering what I should do, I heard a fierce roaring sound at my right. I looked around in time to see a large boulder swing aside and reveal a gloomy cave. A sudden gust of wind arose and sent a cloud of leaves toward me. 1 picked one up and examined it. On it were words written in the peculiar handwriting of the Sibyl of which Miss Brown had so often told me. The leaves were scattered and broken but I determined to put them to- gether and, if possible, to learn what the Sibyl had written for me. Seven days I worked, living on the snails and crabs which crawded around the shore. At the end of this time I had the complete history of the class of 1918 since the day we graduated, and this is the substance of what I read : Ross Fox, one of our brightest members, is now a second Billy Sunday, but he is teaching the heathen tribes of Africa instead of Americans. Blanche Hull and Cleo Brown are hauling fruit in Italy. Their great strength and immense size won this position for them. Edward Goldman, after taking stretchirrg exercises for three years, entered West Point and is now a gen- eral. Another very prominent general of today is the well known Gordon Hill. In 1932, Mr. Robert Farr became president of the United States, his many trials in his Senior year having prepared him for this work. Mrs. Farr, once Helen McColl, is very popular and wins many friends for the president. Elmer Schumaker and D. J. McColl are sensations in the vaudeville line. Elmer plays his violin and D. J. dances jiggs. Lucille Roach is keeping a beauty parlor in Lansing. She will also teach girls how to use their eyes to the best advantage. Life has been cruel to Nina Pratt. She lost her fiance shortly after she graduated and she is now keeping a home for maiden ladies. Hilda ogelei married a young’ poet from Egypt. He is only three inches shorter than she is and they are very happy. Edward Bassett and Cyril Dyer are drawing cartoons for the New York papers. They are very rich and are spending happy days in bachelorhood. Marjorie Ballentine and Emery Stringer danced for three years in Chicago but Philip pursuaded Marjorie to become Mrs. Amadon. Philip is a very rich doctor due to his discoveries con- cerning the well known disease, “Spring Fever.” Then Emery, deprived of his partner, left the stage and became popular in the baseball world. Amos Snyder was always a rough lad, you probably remember, and is now the great- est heavy weight champion in the world. Two of our girls, Edna Hall and Helen Hoppe, were to be nurses but Helen met a charming Frenchman and when he said, “Je vous aime,” she stopped learning to be a nurse. Edna found the work too strenuous so she adopted io French children and started a home for refugees. The greatest tragedian in the world is the well known actor of 1918. Arthur Hamlin. Jesse Upp is the best paid model in Jacob Jacobi’s store and is rapidly becoming wealthy. Lois Cochran is now singing for $2,000 a night in all the big cities of Europe, Loretta Barke r became so in- terested in typewriting that she spent extra hours in the office and ended in marrying her employer. The leaf which spoke of Elmer Chamberlain was torn but I saw the word “great” and the word “chemist” so you may guess what he is. We have some more popular dancers in our class. Lorene Crory and Clele Mathieson are making a big hit in London. Critics have not yet decided whether they are equal to or better than the Castles. Lena Ilodder is the wife of one of the war heroes. We all expected this and we are glad she is happy. Harry Lauder is nothing compared with our Scotch laddie, Lloyd Laurie.

The youth sat staring moodily out into the night, frequently assisting the wind in its work by running his nervous sinewy fingers through the already tumbled mass. Han Marsden had that day attained his majority, but anyone seeing the troubled expression on his handsome face, would scarcely receive the impres- sion that he was enjoying his sense of new found freedom, or rejoicing in the promise of the manhood before him. Since the death of his mother when he was a little lad of five years, he and his father had lived in the big white house on the hill, made possible by their faithful maid, Hannah Blakely. The boy had never wanted for the material care and comforts like many motherless boys, and Philip Marsden had been both father and comrade to his only son. Of late something had been missing from their old comradeship. Per- haps it was only that in the round of work and pleasure of his last year at school, there had simply not been time. Han moved restlessly as he remem- bered that some of these amusements would scarcely have met with his father ' s approval. Then, too, there was the girl. Though neither father nor son had even mentioned Hunette Herkimer, the boy felt sure that his father was not well pleased with his marked attentions to this dashing young lady of the social set of the college. Besides, he himself could not quite get over the shock of seeing the delicate jeweled fingers raise the wine glass to her lips, and her ever increasing desire to attend balls, theatre parties and other social functions. But he consoled himself with the thought that once under his influence she would give up the pleasures to please him. He knew nearly a score of fellows who would consider themselves fortunate if they could win the haughty young lady. “Wonder what dad wanted to see me about?” he thought uneasily. “Guess lie’s up in the den now. May as well go up and have it over. I’ll tell him abou t Hunette. then see her tomorrow and end this confounded uncertainty.” Philip Marsden sat by his desk writing, but he smiled as his tall son entered, and motioning him to a seat proceeded to finish his work. Han glanced idly over the desk, and his eyes rested on a small picture of his mother which he remembered had always set on his father ' s desk since he was a boy. For the first time he wondered why his father had never mar- ried again. He realized that there were plenty of attractive women who would willingly have been mistress of the white house. But to his knowledge no other woman had ever entered into his father ' s life but the one whose girl picture smiled down at him. He thought with boyish adoration how sweet and girlish she was, how different from the girls of his acquaintance ! He was suddenly interrupted in his thoughts by his father, who turned from his desk with a grave “Well, son, you have come into your own today and it lies with you, whether you make good use of it. He paused and then continued quietly, “But I don ' t intend to deliver a lecture, Han, my boy. Your mother knew over a month before she died that she could never be better. At first I wouldn’t let her mention it and refused to talk of it with her. But she taught me to believe that God’s way was best and in the last days we often spoke of her plans for our little son.” In spite of an effort his voice trembled. “I promised her that I would watch over our boy and help him to become a good man, and Han, lad, I have tried to do my best, for some day when we meet I want to look into her eyes and tell her that I kept the trust.” “One night the week before she died she slipped her engagement ring from her finger and gave it to me: “I want you to keep it Philip,” she said, “till our boy comes to manhood, then give it to him and tell him that I wish when he has found the girl with whom he wishes to share his life, he would give it to her. and because she loved him she would wear it for the sake of the dead mother who had loved him too.” Opening a drawer in the desk he took out a small lavender velvet case, and handed it to the boy. For a while they sat in silence, then the young man rose and passed out on the balcony. He stood a long time in the moonlight, the open case in his hand. It was like her picture, simple, dainty, girlish. He tried to picture to himself, it on Hunette’s finger. He could see her look of well bred surprise, and her amused smile as he tried to explain. The moonlight falling on the boyish face witnessed a mighty struggle. “Have been associated with this girl so long,” he thought. “My friends have envied me so greatly that it is not easy to give her up now. Besides she has many excellent points in her character. Tho’ the pain of parting is great, my love of principle surmounts it.” So as he closed the case he whispered softly, “Thank you little mother, I’ll keep it with me. It will help a fellow to keep straight and some day, please God, I’ll find the girl you would be glad to have wear your ring and who will be glad to wear it.” Turning he entered the hous e and waited for his father ' s inquiry, “Well, son?” I have been thinking,” he said quietly, “of that business you said needed attending to out west. If you thought I could manage it, I could leave tomorrow.” It was characteristic of Philip Marsden to merely reply, “I shall be re- lieved to have you look after it. e can go down to the office in the morning’ and look it up and you can leave on the two-thirtv. You will need to make preparations tonight.” Then as their hands met in a tight clasp, he added softly, “Good night, my son ; mine and Margaret’s.” hen the door closed behind his stalwart son, he picked up the little picture, and kissing the girlish face reverently, whispered huskily, “It’s all right, Margaret dear, I should not ever have doubted.” —LOIS COCHRANE, T8. THE OLD RAIL FENCE How well I remember the old rail fence At the foot of the narrow lane, Where we never stopped to let down the bars, Or to put them in place again. We scrambled thru, tho the space between was hardly an inch too wide ; And laughed if we happened to lose our hold And go plump on the other side. And oh, how jolly it was when we Those barriers high could scale, And perch like roosters, and flap our wings, And crow on the topmost rail ! And the smallest one of the merry group, A gay little boyish elf, Would cry if the bars were let down for him, For he wanted to help himself. In all the frolics, the games, and plays, So dear to the children’s heart, They are learning lessons that serve them well, When the days of youth depart. And those who fearlessly climb the fence At the risk of beholding stars, Will never delay at a task, nor wait Till someone lets down the bars. — W. P. M. A They stood talking together on ihe lawn in the shade of a large, spread- ing oak, the Boy of sixteen and the Girl two years his junior. From the close contact of their two heads and the absorbed look on their faces it might be thought that they were talking about something extremely interesting. And so it was — to them, at least. “When I grow up,” the Boy was saying, “I want tot be a great money king. Mv, wouldn ' t it be great to be so influential in Wall street that your name would be spoken with awe all over!” As he spoke his face lighted up and his eyes gleamed at the very thought. “Oh, 1 hope you can!” the Girl said. “I never could be anything as great as that. I want to be a nurse. I’ve been with mother a good deal since she’s been sick and I just love it !” So they talked on until the shadows began to lengthen on the lawn and the great golden sun dropped nearer to the horizon and there they said “good- bye” and parted, little dreaming of what the future had in store for them. All day long the ambulances had been bringing the wounded soldiers to the little hospital at M . “Somewhere in France.” At first the steady boom of the guns that could be heard in the distance, was very disquieting to the inmates of the hospital, but as they became accustomed to it, the unceasing monotone exercised rather a soothing influence over them. A nurse came hurrying down the long line of cots and stopped to straight- en the covers on the sleeping man in one of the narrow, white beds. His name was unfamiliar to her for he had been placed there while she was tak- ing a much needed rest. As she bent over it there was something vaguely familiar in the face before her which arrested her attention. She studied it for a moment and then uttered a surprised exclamation. There was no doubt but that the face which she looked at was that of her old playmate, the Boy. The Boy recovered rapidly from the wound which he had received in his arm. and was soon convalescent. One day he and the Girl had a long talk. She told him how she had taken a nurse ' s training and been awarded her diploma and, when war was declared, had volunteered, been accepted and sent to the hospital in M . The Boy, in turn, told of his success in business and how he had been drafted, in spite of all his efforts to release himself, had been sent to camp, and finally to France, where he had been wounded during an encounter with the “Huns.” “Girl.” he said “I have learned that money is the least thing to be desired. I didn’t want to be a man and fight, but I have learned my lesson and as soon as I am able, I am going back ! This time I go willingly. There was a light in his eyes which the Girl had never seen there before. It was the light of Patriotism and unselfishness which shone from them. —GERTRUDE TENNANT. ’ 21 . Just P. H. H. S.

Seniors, But Nearly All Are in Army Vitally Necessary Production Waits for Experts That It Takes Years tc Train Ann Arbor, Mich.. May 3. — During the last few days Professor Walter Badger of the chemical engineering faculty of the University of Michigan has received requests for 400 senior chemical engineers to work on munitions and other war needs. Aside from these calls for war needs, he has received Calls from eight industries, not connected with war work, for men. Professor Badger has 15 Seniors left in his department with whom to supply the de- mands. “We are not making an attempt to fill jobs that do not bear directly on war necessities ’ said Professor Badger. The Hercules Powder company’s new plant in Charlestown, W. Va., will manufacture smokeless powder, and will employ between 15.000 and 18,000 men. It is for this plant that the Hercules people have requested Professor Badger to send 200 men. The operation of the new plant covers the manufac- ture of smokeless powder from the purification of the raw cotton, through the manufacture of acids, ethers, and so on, to the final testing and packing of the powder. DEMAND IS UNLIMITED “There never was such a demand for trained chemical engineers as there is today, nor so few available men to fill the positions offered ’ said Professor Badger. The principal demand is for men in powder plants. The Hercules company expects to turn out a million pounds of smokeless pow ' der a day in this one plant, and they will manufacture not only smokeless powder, but a string, also, of accessory materials. “The war will not be over for another three or four years, and the de- mand for chemical engineers is going to increase as the war continues. It takes years to train a chemical engineer, and as I see it, the young man enter- ing college can serve his country in no greater way than to fit himself for this kind of war work. I hey really should be made a part of army work, for the man who is working in them, though he is not running the dangers of the front line trenches, is even more important to the success of the war than the man in the trenches, for the soldier in the trenches without munitions is worse than no soldier at all. MANY IN ARMY And yet chemical engineering ' students all over the country have been allowed to leave school — even worse than that, for a time they were drafted — for service in the trenches ' The Dupont Powder plant is also asking for all the graduates available, as soon as possible. 1 he Forest Products laboratory at the University of Wisconsin has writ- ten Professor Badger, that the war and navy departments of the government have referred to that laboratory a number of important military problems and asks for A number of students immediately. The inspection division of the United States Department of Ordnance wants men, starting right now in the Carnegie institute, Pittsburg. They have asked for 50 men from the chemical department of the university. These men are placed on a salary of $1,000 a year, when they register for the Car- negie work. The training there is intensive and lasts for six weeks. After that, if satisfactory, they will be placed in civil service positions as inspectors of shells and all ordnance materials. The United States Signal corps, within the week, has asked Professor Badger for 50 men, for analytical positions in the Pittsburgh laboratory, test- ing every conceivable material that goes into the construction of an aeroplane. ONLY 15 MEN LEFT The American Analin Chemical company, recently formed, and com- posed of half a dozen big firms manufacturing all kinds of chemicals, have a representative here during the week, asking for ten men. They will start these men fresh from the classroom at $125.00 a month, with promise of rapid advancement. The Solvay Process company, of Rochester, wants men for coke oven work. The Goodyear Rubber company, Akron, wants men for research of fabrics to be used in making balloons, gas masks, water-proofing for aero- planes, and so on. The American Brake Shoe Foundry company, of Eric, Pa., wants men for making shells and other munitions. The Dow Chemical company of Midland, has employment for any number of chemical experts There are but 15 seniors left in the chemical engineering section. Printed at the recpiest of Mr. S. W. Griffin.

MUSINGS The dew-lined clouds go fleeting past. A minute — a second ; no longer, they last. Shimmering stars bestud the sky, A twinkle — a quiver, and then they die. The winds — whether balmy or cold Are transient as a shifting shoal. The emerald waves that evVvwhere roam Break on gray rocks to intangible foam. Life’s meaningless pleasures, its baubles, its toys Are little akin to its measureless joys. Like clouds and stars, the wind, and waves, These bubbles all break and leave 11s amazed, How little are they fused with life’s real joys, its cheer! How alone they leave us when they disappear ! — W. II. S.

The session opened May 18, with former Speaker in the chair and all members in their respective representative chairs. The following officers were unanimously elected to guide the affairs for the ensuing session : Speaker — Philip Amadon. Clerk — Emery Stringer. T reasurer — Clele Mathieson. Sergeant-at-Arms — Carlton Robinson. As the days of the session passed, bill after bill and resolution were dis- cussed logically and fluently by the representative statesmen. The House went on record as opposed to the traitorous views as expressed by Senator LaFollette. The Maitland Draft Bill and the Mathieson Internment Bill were pigeon holed after consideration by the Committee on Military and Naval Affairs. A membership in the State Debating League was secured and the fol- lowing debaters ably defended the House cause: Philip Amadon, Warren Simms, Clele Mathieson, Robert I 7 arr. With comparative ease a unanimous decision was taken from the Lapeer debaters in the first contest of the Lea- gue, but the home team was given to disappointment when Detroit Western carried off two to one decision. The greatest victory of the session was gained when New Baltimore, the leader in the league for the state honors was left to defeat on her home ground. A motor trip to Avoca resulted in adding another victory for Port Hu- ron. The session was officially closed May 13, but all gathered in the grill room of the Chamber of Commerce for the annual banc|iiet. The days of good times and strenuous discussions were again reviewed, as gathered around the banquet table. Toast master Amadon called upon various representatives for responses. The enjoyable evening was brought to a close very happily by Louis A. Weil’s talk on “Service.” Good, wholesome advice, from a man who really knew, furnished inspiration and impetus for another successful year. ROBERT FARR CLELE MATHEISON WARREN H.

It was some party. But what and why are the Junior Patriots? Junior Patriot — “Well, it ' s this way. A bunch of high school girls and alumni became imbued with a sort of patriotism. They got together and or- ganized, calling themselves Junior Patriots. Their object was to aid the Red Cross and relieve it of the burden of minor details. Accordingly they have taken up the collection of the pennies from Red Cross penny bags over the entire city. Besides numerous other things, they give a party or some sort of entertainment each month and turn the money over to the Red Cross : they are efficient knitters and the enthusiasm of their work is contagious. The only restriction to membership is that one must be a member of the Red Cross; yet, the membership is large, and is still growing. They are planning to do bigger things and — Hello!

They bought one hundred and ten paper vests for county men in training and sent them large quantities of tobacco also, and too, they have aided the Red Cross and the Junior Patriots in various ways. These fellows are simply trying to inspire a little confidence in the hearts of those in training or “Over There ’ By doing their “bit” they live up to their name and become a credit to the community through their thorough work.

H. S. The Glee Clubs The musical activities of the High School this year have centered in the two Glee Clubs which were organized last October, a Boys ' Glee Club of twenty members, and a Girls’ Glee Club of thirty members. These clubs are regularly organized with president and secretary-treas- urer. and the intention is that they shall become permanent organizations of the High School. The officers of the Girls’ Glee Club are: Grace Kishpaugh, president, and Marguerite Baer, secretary. Those holding office in the Boys’ Glee Club are: Ross Fox, president, and Carleton Robinson, secretary. That the majority of the Boys’ Club might be accommodated the meet- ings have been held at the High School, Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30, and the Girls Club have met for rehearsal Thursday afternoons, eighth hour. These Clubs joined for ensemble singing Friday noons from 11:15 to 12:00 and have the cantata “The Building of the Ship” by Lahee under way, and it is ihe intention now to give this publicly as early as possible next fall. We are looking forward another year to a regular chorus hour as was formerly the custom, and which was productive of such splendid results both from the point of achievement musically and the school enthusiasm which inevitably results from the banding together of large numbers in a common interest. There will be an effort made another year to add an alumni membership to our Glee Clubs, that the seniors who are leaving us this year may still be bound to the old P. H. H. S. by the bond of our musical organizations. We are also hoping that the High School Band that was suggested this year may become a live, enthusiastic reality next year, and it will surely have the hearty support of every music loving, student of the High School. Quite alarming was the decrease in farm labor a few months after war had been declared. This internal condition threatened not only our own food supply, but also the fulfillment of the promise of food to our allies. Finally a plan was evolved by which the farmer might be aided in his production. It was decided to mobilize all school boys who were physically fit and had re- ceived the consent of their parents to enter such work. This organization was called the Boys’ Working Reserve. The members were assigned to farms for service of six weeks, or more if they wished. Recognition was given for all work done. This came in the form of a certificate — a reward of patriot- ic duty. Early in the year ‘‘Doc” Crissman spoke on this subject at a mass meet- ing. The students became so enthused at the prospects of being able to do something fot their country that forty registered. Many of the fellows took the final examinations and left the second of May. Following are those who enlisted : W. W. Sylvester Stanley Wright Thomas W. Howard Harold M. Tibbits Robert B.

The next year our class grew ' stronger, for we’d stayed in High School longer, And we came to find a meaning to the title, Sophomore, The fact is we are working, no more they find us shirking, And no longer do the teachers wait their chance about the hall To watch and end discussions about the Teachers ' Play and all, For the students young and honest to the task have taken fast, Of running the Port Huron High — by Self Government at last. —I.

The result was a huge mass meeting and Athletic Week. Mr. Hungerford advised, Robert Farr presided, Philip Amadon was campaign manager, while Warren Simms handled the weighty constitutional situations. At this mass meeting Dr. D. Stanley Shaw instilled intense spirit in all present and when the call for members was made for the first Port Huron High School Athletic Association, four hundred and sixty-three students pledged their loyal support and began paying dues of twenty-five cents a semester. This organization was formed with the purpose of increasing general co- operative spirit and placing athletics on a sound financial basis. All dues have been paid and the Association is w r ell fulfilling its purpose. We look forward to its growth and successful administration through many years. For the first time in a number of years. Port Huron High School under the leadership of Athletic Coach “P illy Mac,” placed a basket ball team on the floor. There had always been an abundance of excellent material, but it was not until January that a call for candidates was issued, a team organized, and a schedule drawn up. After the first game with Sarnia Collegiate, “Char- lie” Bonnett was elected captain. Bonnett was easily the star of the team in both offensive and defensive work with Watterworth running a close sec- ond. Holth played a steady consistent game at center while our guards, Tut- tle, Norris, Moore and Sickles were constantly emerging into the limelight. During the first of the season a lack of teamwork was noticeable but all things considered the season was successful with 9 wins and 3 defeats. Sarnia Collegiate The season opened January nth with Sarnia Collegiate on the Cana- dian side. Both sides suffered many penalties which were probably due to the difference in our rules and the Canadian’s. Bonnett started the season off well by scoring 29 of the 35 points for P. H. H. S. Flint On the 18th Flint came to our city and was successful in carrying home the large end of a 34 to 26 score. This was easily one of the cleanest and fastest games of basket ball seen in Port Huron and it was only after a hard struggle that Flint was successful in taking the honors. Mason, Flint’s cen- ter, was largely responsible for our defeat while at times Bonnett and Holth gave promise for us. Sarnia Collegiate January 25th, Sarnia engaged in a supposed game of basket ball with the wearers of the P. H. and expressed a determination of regaining their lost laurels, but alas! were badly beaten by a score of 72 to 22. Bonnett and Holth again featured for us. Holth alone in the first half being responsible for 10 field baskets. Ann Arbor The Ann Arbor representatives were here February 1st and were de- feated 50 to 33. Port Huron was at no time in danger and held the visitors in check while Watterworth and Holth had the time of their lives shooting bas- kets from all points of the floor. Detroit Central On the day following the Ann Arbor carnage, our boys travelled to De- troit and engaged Detroit Central on their floor. With the exception of Bon- nett our representatives were either tired out from the game the night before or dazed by the action of the big city team because after 40 minutes of play it was found that Port Huron had the short end of a 38 to 12 score. Ann Arbor After a respite of two weeks, our boys again took on Ann Arbor this time at Ann Arbor. The University boys were successful in securing their revenge because while there, we received our third and last defeat of the season. Score 20 to 13. Bonnett scored 10 of our 13 points. ST. AGNES OF DETROIT One week later Port Huron played the St. Agnes Club of Detroit on the home floor. St. Agnes was badly beaten by a score of 50 to 20. Watterworth was the leading man in our attack. Marine City Marine City vs. Port Huron, March ist, so the score book said, but in truth it was all Port Huron or rather ‘ ' Charlie” Bonnett. There was nothing to it, Bonnett threw baskets for a total of 44 points and when he grew tired Watterworth and Holth were there to help him. Score 66 to 28. The 40th Aero Squadron of Mt. Clemens was scheduled for March 9th, but due to a severe snowstorm were unable to arrive for a game. When this announcement was received a number of old grads got together and attempt- ed to show up McIntosh’s colts. But again Bonnett and Watterworth could not be held and the High School was victor by a score of 44 to 16. Marine City Again on March 15, Port Huron played Marine City this time on the home floor. The result was the same, our boys were victors. Every man on the team was instrumental in securing a share of the points with Bonnett and Watterworth leading. Score 56 to 9. THE SENIOR TEAM--Three Years Champion of Inter-Class Basket Ball Bad Axe One week later the local athletes travelled to Bad Axe. Although Bad Axe made a good showing for a small high school, the result of the game was never in doubt and again Port Huron was victor by a score of 31 to 21. 40th Aero Squadron The twelfth and last game of the season was on March 29th when P. H. H. S. played the 40th Aero Squadron of Mt. Clemens. The aviators boasted a lineup of former college stars among whom were “Shifty Bolen and Davies of Ohio State University, but probably due to self-confidence they were de- feated 25 to 24. This was easily the most interesting and exciting game of the season. Watterworth secured at least one-half of our total number of points. Thus ended our first — but even so — a very successful basket ball season. Keep up the good work. THE INTER-CLASS BASKET BALL LEAGUE This year’s inter-c lass basket ball league was quite as successful as those of the past two years. At least it was quite as successful for the class of 1918. it being won again by the Seniors. Fewer ineligible men played on teams than ever before, and none had the questionable distinction of playing on two different teams during the league. The Freshmen, with a team consisting of men who had played on pre- vious first year teams, looked very good and won their first game against the Seniors. Bonnett was the iron man of the quintet. Rut after the first disastrous game against the Freshmen, the old 1918 spirit asserted itself and the Seniors went through the rest of the league with- out the loss of a game. Watterworth played his usual aggressive and fast game at forward. Goldman’s luck and science was w ith him and so the team was well cared for in the forward department. D. J. McColl held down the pivot position. Capt. Holth, who played guard, was surely a bulwark on defense and could be re- lied upon to break up “Baldy” Bonnett’s rushes for a basket. Chamberlain played the other guard efficiently and steadily. The Sophomores, owing to the fact that several members of last year’s team had scholastic difficulties, had to build up an entirely new team. Moore was the main stay of the team. The Juniors had a team that has a championship possibility. At the end of the first round they were tied with the Seniors for first place. At this point they slackened, when some of their players unwisely were vaccinated and kept from playing.

E. Chamberlain, L. G. D. McColl, C. R. Fox, Substitute. If the inter-class league is going to remain an institution of the school, greater interest and support must be given it than was given this year. For almost the entire league, games were played before galleries contain- ing not over twenty people. The lack of interest was apparent even in the people that announced the games at school, somebody usually in a semi-comatose condition announcing that there were going to be some basket ball games and requesting that you come and be bored for a hour or two at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday evening. When the league was finished every one of the players was heartily glad of it, and so I believe was everybody else. It was not always so. In the first year every team had a frenzied, crazed band of followers behind it. There was interest. Class spirit was developed to an extent it had never reached before. When all progress ceases, an institution falls. If this school wants inter- class athletics it must support them. Early in the spring when Coach McIntosh issued the call for baseball candidates about twenty responded. Out of this number there were only three veterans, French, Watterworth and Bonnett. It was obvious that a combination would have to be formed about these men. Watterworth was elected captain. After the first game with Sarnia Collegiate, two of our dependables took leave, Sickles enlisting in the Navy and Caulkett departing with the Bovs ' Working Reserve. Previously an excellent schedule had been prepared but due to the action of other schools in calling off their games, all new games had to be arranged mostly with nearby towns. Consequently the season was shorter than usual. The season opened April 12th with Richmond High at Richmond. Richmond vs. P. H. H. S., ii-i The day of this game was miserably cold with a high wind blowing, thus making it next to impossible to judge where the ball was going so probably this was the best or rather the worst reason for our defeat. Port Huron seemed to be pursued by a jinx which, however, didn’t bother Richmond who proceeded to make merry at our expense. Errors to the number of five and these coming at the critical moment aided in our downfall. After the first inning, Caulkett settled down and pitched fine ball until his removal in the fifth when French took up the hurl- ing duties. Things were moving smoothly until the seventh inning and then came the deluge, Richmond’s catcher started it off with a three-bagger and then the whole team seemed to follow at his heels because when the innings were over, Richmond had added eight more runs to their score. “Nuff sed.” Richmond vs. P. H. H. H„ 8-6 Two weeks later P. H. H. S. attempted to wipe off the blot on their record but due to the lack of bits at the proper time were again handed the short end of the score, this time on the home grounds. For Port Huron, Nor- ris handled the receiving duties like a veteran while Stringer and Holtli look- ed good in their positions. Sarnia Collegiate vs. P. H. H. S., 6-3 Alas ! pride and vanity fell with a loud bang. P. H. gave Sarnia a return game May 15th on Canadian ground and as the above score illustrates, were defeated. French, and Watterworth held down our pitching duties and except for a few occasional breaks, the Sarnians were held well in hand. However, one ambitions young man who held down the catcher’s job for Sarnia could- n’t be stopped until he had collected three two-baggers and, if necessarily an alibi is needed, our foul may be attributed to his good work. “Freddie Moore featured for Port Huron with a three-base hit in the second and was able to secure a score. Watterworth played a star game both at second base and during his time in the box. Catcher — R. Norris. Pitchers — French, Caulkett, The Lineup Watterworth. First Base — Stringer. Holth. Second Base — Sickles, Watterworth. Third Base— Germain. Center— Watterworth, Carson. Shortstop— Bon nett. Right— ' Tuttle, Moore. Left — Holth, Lawrie. Substitute— MacCracken. The Inter-Class Bashei Ball Trophy on by Class of 1918 SECOND LIEUTENANT M. J. MYERS Our Former Coach JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY i he biggest social event of the year was when the Juniors honored the class of jX at a party in the Masonic Temple, April T4. Heretofore the Juni- ors entertainment for the Seniors was in the form of a banquet, but owing to the fact that we are living in “ ar Times” they decided to give an informal dancing party. About a hundred and seventy-five people were in attendance. The majority of whom indulged in dancing to music furnished by McKan- las’ Orchestra, while the others enjoyed card-playing and various other games. Punch and wafers were served during the intermissions. Dancing ceased at the customary hour of eleven and the Seniors departing commented the party as being a “Huge Success.” JUNIOR PARTY One of the most delightful affairs of the school year was the party given by the girls of the Junior class, at the high school on Friday evening, May 3. The affair was given in honor of the Junior boys who have joined the Boys Working Reserve Corps. Those present were entertained at supper which was followed by games and dancing. Teachers Play “PLAYS OF TODAY AND TOMORROW” Teachers, as “Thespians,” Score Big Hit in Their Play at the Majestic Port Huron theatre goers have witnessed many splendid home talent productions in recent years but none could be more successful from both the artistic as well as histronic point of view, than the debut of Port Huron s school teachers into the realm of the footlights. A crowded house applauded the performance of the Port Huron Teachers club at the Majestic and as the curtain ended the final act, it stamped the production with the unqualified mark of success. Every member of the large cast worked almost as professionals and there was not a weak spot in the four playlets which constituted the show. “Plays of Today and Tomorrow” was given for the benefit of the Red Cross, Navy League and the American Fund for the French wounded. Much credit for its success is due Miss Clara L. Sibilla, director, and her clever hand was seen prominently throughout the four playlets. Miss Sibilla does not overlook a single detail either in direction or production and great credit is due her. Each of the one act plays dealt with problems of the present and future. The comedy sketch “Peace Maneuvers” opened the performance. The scene was laid in a room in an Old Ladies ' Home and concerned the domestic re- lationship and petty disputes of two old ladies, sharing the same room. The situations were many and humorous. Alta W. Hayward as “Miss Mitchell,” director of the home ; Elizabeth Hughes as “Mrs. Fullerton,” Clara E. Smith as “Miss Dyer” and Katherine W. Harris as “Mrs. Blake,” were excellent in their respective parts. Harlan A. Davis, as the “Emperor with a withered arm,” performed in the comedy sketch “Efficiency” which was built about the scientific investi- gations of a German professor, F. X. Lake, who created a super-man from the remnants of a shattered soldier. This super-man, T. A. Anderson, known as “Number 241,” was made of iron, wood and steel. He was equipped with super-strength, super-brain, super-eyes and super-ears. He was the latest triumph of “German efficiency.” However, he was so efficient that he per- ceived the end of the war and of his peoples’ suffering, in the death of his Emperor so he straightway killed him. The sketch was in turn, humorous and dramatic. Let it be said here that Messrs. Davis, Anderson and Lake were so proficient in their respective roles that many wondered whether they were amateurs or the real article. Their debut as actors certainly made a dis- tinct impression. “A I ragedy of the Future deals with life in 1968 when men are earning $100,000 a year and eggs are selling for $50,000 each. The husband of a happy home. Basil, a New Yorker, (H. L. Miller) cannot afford to feed his wife Irene (J. Olive Hartsig), the egg which she craves and thus comes the be- ginning of the end. However, a representative of the Food Trust, (F. X. Lake), enters at this critical juncture with a slice of bread, the supply for a week. In him, Irene recognizes a rejected suitor whom she finds still loves her. He has an egg which he is about to deliver to a millionaire, but by lav- ishing upon him, her affections and charms, in true Theda Bara style, she induces him to give her the egg. She is so grateful that she falls upon his neck and thus they are found when hubby enters and the happy home as well as the egg, goes to smash. Hubby disowns her, shatters the precious egg upon the floor and then retires to his room from which a shot is heard. Miss Hartsig is excellent in her role. She performed with the ease, con- fidence and grace of the accomplished lady of the stage and her work, sup- ported in fine shape by Mr. Miller and Mr. Lake, netted great applause. “The Real Thing,” a comedy farce by John Kendrick Bangs, concluded the program. Jane E. Stewart, as “Bridget O’Hara was exceptionally good as was also H. A. Davis as “Michael McGinnis” and Julia E. Phillips as “Mrs. Thaddeus Perkins.” The supporting cast, composed of Viola L. Sumner, Luella A. Small, F. Viola Dornan, R. Geraldine Wolfstyn, Minnie C. Smith, Emma F. Bowen, Ruth Irwin Smith, Helen D. Butler, Henrietta Philip and Gerald McKenzie did splendid work and the sketch was well received. THE SENIOR PLAY On the evening of Wednesday, June fifth, the Senior Class of 1918 will present the dramatization of Booth Tarkington’s novellette “Monsieur Beau- caire.” This drama is a romantic comedy of the early eighteenth century — a play of ladies, beaus, powder and puffs, demanding in its action, distinctive- ness and unusual ability. It is interesting to observe that this first romance to be presented by a Senior Class, is the play in which Richard Mansfield, the distinguished actor, took the leading characterization a few years ago. At that time its rapid action, its extreme humor and peculiar situations attracted nation-wide attention. The Senior production will follow the novellette very closely, preserving its strength of style and its inherent literary finesse. Spe- cial costumes have beeen designed and all indications point to a highly artis- tic climax of intensive work and preparation. The entire Proceeds of the Senior play will be given to the Red Cross, the Navy League and the American Fund for French Wounded. Those who have been selected for the cast are : Monsieur Beaucaire ------ Arthur Hamlin Duke of Winterset ------ Philip D. Amadon Mr. Molyneaux - - - - - - - D. J.

Stanley Shaw in the presence of the entire student body. Quite impressive and unforgetable was that service. Elsewhere in this book is printed a Roll of Honor, containing the names of one hundred and seven students and alumni in the service of our country, they are, in a measure, representative of us in this great struggle. We can little appreciate what tremendous sacrifices they have made. Each has given up ambitions, opportunities, business or school and placed his life at the altar of democracy, subordinating personal interests to a world w r ide democracy. We wish them success, and assure them that we do not forget. Ours is the supreme task of making hom a fit place to which they may return. As we draw near the close of our four years at P. H. H. S. it is with profitable interest that we pause in retrospection. We are glad to have the nascent stages of our marked development pointed out. Imbued with the virility and activity of our life here, we find inspiration in our work, we sur- vey the future and its opportunities with vigorous minds. Regret shadows our departure but we hope that this book may in some way express our grati- tude for the impetus that we have received, and that it may lend some per- manency to our reminiscences, and may itself be reminiscent of the Class of 1918 and its honest efforts. It is right that we should be reflective, but too, we should be introspective at such a time. We should concern ourselves with a definite purpose, which will launch us determinedly and fitly into a new r life, a life that w ill be filled with larger and more numerous responsibilities than we have ever witnessed in the past. Let us stand unmistakably alert, heels together, shoulders squar- ed, heads up, facing conditions that are ahead of us, ready to supplant a nomi- nal democracy with a real, living democracy. We have spent few days in P. H. H. S. when conditions in this disorder- ed world have been normal. Our feverish restlessness during the earlier days of the war has deepened into anxiety and perplexity. The battles in the trenches in Flanders have been waged fiercely, yet hardly more so than the conflicts in the hearts of American men. The words of our country’s leaders, “that the place for you younger men is in college,” ring incongruously in our ears, as we gaze confusedly at the Federal posters and their message, “Your Country Needs You ’ Life and the prospect seems hopelessly distorted by the blasts of war. As we see our incomparable soldiers, and listen to their measured tread, our hearts are stirred, we must go. Yet when we pause to think we become uncertain. Our course is clouded in doubt. Again and again we propose to ourselves the question, “What are our special obligations and how may we fulfill them?” We should, therefore, obtain help and advice from the clearest-sighted and farthest-sighted social prophets. “Your place is in college” but straight- way our minds visualize “Your Country Needs You.” Yet are not these two obligations compatible? Indeed they are, and our problem nears solution. No generation has witnessed such ruthless destruction of youthful leaders as ours. This tragic fact reposes in us a multifold responsibility of preparing ourselves to meet the problems of today and tomorrow, each one of which will demand intelligent consideration. Our country does need us and in order to meet this need our place is in college where we may become freshened, invigorated and prepared to render the highest service. This then, should be the definition of our special responsibility, “Keep the Lamp of Learning Aflame,” and as we pass from P. H. H. S. let us meet life ' s realities squarely. Think before acting. Don ' t move on impulse. Prepare for unselfish service. — W. H. S. The Staff wishes to express its gratitude to the students for their assist- ance, especially to Miss Hogan and the typists who have so carefully pre- pared the material for the printers. A.ll unsigned cuts are the work of Edward Bassett. The Student is ex- ceedingly grateful for his persistent efforts, and congratulates him on the obvious talent of his finished work. Mrs. Loretta Graves Meisel, President THE TIME FOR SERVICE Louis A. Weil The Alumni editor of The Student has asked me to write something for the current issue. “You used to be one of the editors of the high school paper” she said. “We would like to have you write something for us.” “What about?” I asked her. “O,” she replied, “select your own subject.” So, naturally there first runs through my mind the memories of the days gone by, more than twenty years ago, when we edited the high school paper. The publication was then known as THE TATTLER. It was all the name implies and then some. But we enjoyed The TATTLER, even though our readers did not al- ways. We made it the vehicle through which to voice our displeasures, our joys, and aversion to discipline. We finally reached a point where the school authorities very properly told us to look for headquarters outside of the high school building. We did. After opening an office in the Hartsuff Block, we ran THE TATTLER in free lance fashion, to put it mildly. The heavy hand of school authority finally descended upon us. It was a good thing for the school and for us. You see the point I am making is that in this great democracy in which we live and for which we are fighting we must SERVE for the COMMON GOOD. We didn’t always do it in THE TATTLER. We were too often given to airing our own grievances. 1 guess we all have experiences of a similar nature. We all hold at times our own trials and tribulations so close to our eyes as to obscure the vision of the big things further away. We stand too close to the mountain to really get a good look at it. The war is teaching us the VALUE OF SERVICE. We must forget ourselves, to a large extent. We are learning to do that more and more every day. We are PROGRESSING. Did you ever stop to think, high school boys and girls, what a great priv- ilege it is to be in attendance at school now? Did you ever stop to think what a great privilege it is to just live in the greatest history-making epoch of all time? There is just one question which should be uppermost in your minds. It is this : HOW MAY I BEST SERVE MY COUNTRY? Your brothers of military age have gone away to make the SUPREME SACRIFICE if necessary. Why? So that the world may be a better place for YOU and for those pupils of the lower grades, and for your children to come to live in. That’s why YOU, too, must render service. I do not mean that you should give up your studies. On the contrary there never has been a time in the history of the world when thinking men and women were so necessary to our country’s welfare. Stick to your school. That’s one service you can render. But that isn ' t all. The work of the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and nu- merous war activities all open great AVENUES of SERVICE to you. Enter upon them. You must transfer your thought into service. That’s what the BOYS who have gone to the battlefields of Europe have done. Here is an excerpt from a letter found on a body of a twenty year-old Michigan soldier who was killed on the western front. “We shall live forever in the results of our efforts. We shall live as those who by our sacrifice won the great war. You must console yourself with the thought that I am happy. THE MEASURE OF LIFE IS NOT ITS SPAN, but the USE MADE OF IT.” Usefulness is the great virtue today. Surely you can find your inspiration for service in the splendid testimony given in the words quoted above. NOW is the time 1 GONE— BUT NOT FORGOTTEN On your left — but permit me to introduce you to a replica of the phy- sical likeness of Mr. Mlio Clarke — otherwise “Hap,” a former baseball and football star, and popular lion of the social swirl. But now comes the part of his life’s story which drives alternate waves of sorrow and ' joy through our heavy hearts. Having eluded a doting father and mother and a watchful bodyguard, he ran away to Detroit, en- listed, and is now at Paris Island, S. C. But, now as ever, he is distinguishing himself — “Rising from the Ranks” as Alger terms it. At present he is a ser- geant — soon a general. He cannot graduate with us in a sense, but he has already graduated — his is the “Commencement” of Democracy. We can only offer him our congratulations and assure him of staunch, unforgetting hearts, the kind that make assurances come true. Good luck to you “Hap.” Just below is a letter from him to you — it is full of interest. “Dear Editor: “I have been Manning on Paris Island for fourteen weeks, and the way things look now, I think I will be able to say, “I fought the Germans there,” when the war is over. “All recruits are trained at this post by non-commissioned officers, one sergeant and two corporals to a company. In order to have everything uni- form for inspections and drill, there is a non-commissioned school, where a course of training very similar to that given at officers training camps is given to men chosen from companies which have completed the twelve weeks training, or the prescribed course. At the present time there are three schools in session, the first one being composed of men picked here on the Island, the second, of men from Fort Crockett, Texas, and the third school which has just opened is filled with Marines who have been in Ships Guard. “I am in the first school and as the recruits are coming in about two hun- dred a day, we expect to be assigned to new companies next week (That is if we pass examination). Then my job will be to help make soldiers out of green men for probably a year. I don’t like the idea of staying on this island so long, but if I am ordered to stay, stay I do, without a murmur. “Mv old company, the 92 d, went to Ouantice, a., about three weeks ago, for further training and 1 got word from one of the fellows last night that they were packing up to go “Overseas’’ that day, so they are probably on their way now. “Isbester is with them and can consider himself lucky to get away. We hated to part, but it had to be done. “I guess the Marines are doing their “bit” in France, for General Per- shing called for more of them and as a recent congress voted to increase the corps from thirty thousand to seventy-five thousand, and the men are just pouring in here by the hundreds. “This is probably one of the best, if not the best, training camp in the country. The reason being that it is on an island, with none of the usual things nearby that will take a man ' s mind off of his work. It is a very dif- ferent place than one would imagine. The fellows don’t go to the city every night and have a big head the next morning, for there is no city to go to. Everything is made as convenient as possible and free shows given every night at the “Y” and the Marine Theatre. “I haven ' t seen a white woman for four months and I haven’t the least idea what I’ll act like when I get away from here. I expect I’ll be very bash- ful, as I always was. “The climate is fine, the temperature for the last few weeks has only been between 95 and 100 degrees, but they say it will warm up soon. (I hope so.) “Well, I don’t know that I can tell you very much more about this place, but I wish some of the fellow r s would come down and find out for themselves. They can stay at quarantine for a week and then if they don’t like the place, they are given a chance to go home, if they wish. “I arrived on January 16th, and before I was sworn in on the 20th, I was given a chance, as were all others, to go home if I wished, but very few ever back out. Four days a week are for drill ; two for police work ; and we get three good meals each day. I ' ll guarantee you that before you are here a month, you’ll gain ten pounds, if not more. 1 weighed 135 pounds the day I enlisted at Detroit and an hour ago I weighed 164 pounds, so you see it agrees with me. “I like the idea of the Athletic Association which was formed in school. It is fine, and if you can wait until pay day, I ' ll drop you a four years’ sub- scription. I haven’t heard anything about the baseball team yet, but hope the P. H. H. S. will be represented, and I know if there is a team it will be a good one. “Wishing the class and the “Student’’ success, I am as ever Your friend. ‘HAP’ CLARK.’’ SOME WHOLESOME ADVICE To the Students of the Port Huron High School: The editor has suggested that I tell you how I got four A’s last semester, and in her letter requesting some masterpiece from my pen she said: “I sup- pose that it was real hard work that won the A’s, but then you can write it up so that it will look attractive to the Freshies.” Her supposition was en- tirely correct, it did take consistent study and toil, such being the case, all that remains for me to do is to make the prospect of hard work attractive to the people who plan on coming to college. The task is rather a hopeless one, but I will try. According to my observations, there are three types or classes of persons that go to a college or university; first, those who have definite ambitions and are not afraid of study, second, those who are semi-ambitious and not certain as to their attitude towards hard work, and third, those who loathe steady toil and frankly admit that they are out for a good time. Fortunately, this last class is smallest in size, but nevertheless it is very difficult to argue with a person of this type. He is so sure of himself. He has bluffed his way through high school (deceiving no one but himself, of course) and he is confident that this rare skill of his will enable him to fool the col- lege professors, but every year a number of such clever people are told by the authorities that they can stay home Christmas time for good. Yet oc- casionally one of these people manages to stay until he finally gets a diploma, but it means nothing to him or anyone else. All that he can show as a result of his university education is pleasant (?) memories of good times and the habit of laziness. The world has no place for such an unprepared, helpless person and consequently he is almost inevitably doomed to failure and sor- row. People of this third type are indeed to be pitied, for the woeful out- come of their little game of bluff, one-third of their entire life-time has been spent wholly in the pursuit of pleasure with the inescapable result that they are incapable of properly enjoying the other two-thirds. No thinking person will envy them, because they have failed to apply one of the simplest lessons in elementary arithmetic, namely, that two-thirds is greater than one-third. A person who has definite ambitions and a love of work is already start- ed right in life. At college, he will take care of himself. Probably the great majority of college students are of the second type, they are not just sure as to their aims in life and so are uncertain as to what they can or want to accomplish at college in the way of good marks. Thty have not yet thought the situation out clearly and arrived at an understand- ing of the proper balance between work and play; consequently there is a natural tendency to neglect the former. In helping them to arrive at a sane decision in regard to this matter, let me suggest just two facts, first, you will be expected to solve the big social problems of tomorrow and to do the work of your fathers better than they have done it, and second, our country is at war with a power that gives no quarter. The first fact mentioned above leads to the conclusion that it is the duty of everyone who possibly can to get a good education. The only inter- pretation of the second fact is that loafers in army, factory or schools are just plain slackers. The primary purpose for anyone ' s coming to college should be to take advantage of the scholastic opportunities offered. If you take the best ad- vantage of these opportunities you will get good marks as a proof of it. If you don ' t get good marks you are a loafer, you are not preparing yourself for what is ahead, you are a slacker. These may seem like rather unkind words but just reflect a moment. Class-mates and friends of yours have vol- untarily given up their educational opportunities and are willing to give their lives, to fight for our country. They are not having a good time, they are working harder than you ever thought of working but still their spirit is unbroTcen. The other day one of my friends who graduated from P. H. H. S. in 1916 with me enlisted in the army, here is what he wrote me: “I ' ve been doing everything from scrubbing to working on the stone pile. My poor hands are a sight. But I guess I can stand.” He is far away from home and old friends, he is among a rough bunch of men with whom he does not care to associate, he is toiling like a galley slave but with indomitable cheerful- ness he writes: “I guess I can stand.” College is somewhat more difficult proportionately than high school work. But with plenty of grit and average intelligence you can make a record at the university that will be a credit to yourself, your alma mater and your high school. And you can do this without sacrificing social pleasures or ex- tra-scholastic opportunities for education and enjoyment, you can live a well- balanced life and still get good marks. The prime requisite is this spirit of determination which says: “I can stand.” The University of Michigan and every other college and university of this country wants only workers. Is P. H. H. S. going to send that kind of student? —BINGHAM FEAD, T6.

All Oakland county teachers next year will sign a clause in their con- tracts pledging allegiance to the American flag and loyalty to America. Olivet high is on the six day schedule. School year will close May 24. Lansing high bought $635 worth of Thrift Stamps in one week. Bad Axe schools dropped German and substituted knitting and are granting equal credit for proficiency. The Battle Creek High School museum will send part of its collection to France to replace museum articles destroyed during the war. Allegan senior girls decide on white uniforms for graduation exercises. Addison will spend $67 this year on the high school library. A text-book course in home-keeping is offered in the Wayland high school. The Traverse City high school agriculture class is helping the county farmers in obtaining reliable tests of their seed corn. Hartford high boys have organized a house of representatives. Lansing people are asking for Spanish to be taught in the high school. Newaygo high salutes the flag every Monday morning. Lake Odessa high has learned the flag salute and gives it at the opening of each day. High school and grade boys of Stambaugh and Palatha schools marched to Iron River to attend a patriotic mass meeting. The name of “Germania” school of Saginaw has been changed to Lin- coln on motion of a former president of the “Germania” society which found- ed the school 40 years ago. Military training is causing much interest in the Central High School of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The students take a military examination and those with highest standings get the highest commands. Even the boys are knitting in the Grass Valley High School, Grass Val- ley, California. 1 he girls ' patriotic league of Sacramento High School, Cal. promised 250 garments for Belgians and Armenians. The High School students of Canton, 111., are holding “Pep Meetings every Friday for the purpose of boosting debate. EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT The Exchange Editor arrived home late as usual. He started as he noticed the large pile of magazines and papers on the desk before him. “Shades of my forefathers ' ’ he blasphemed, looking at his watch. “One o ' clock, all those exchanges, nothing done, not a single comment written or even an exchange listed and the editor said that tomorrow is the last day. Ye Gods! More and more I swerve from my course — and still I slip.” He dropped into a large arm chair fone of those room-for-four kind) and rubbed his eyes and murmured almost incoherently, “I don’t care anyhow. Don ' t see why someone else can’t write up this stuff. Tm all in.” . Quietly, through the key hole crept two small sprites, which were the constant companions of the editor. At last they stood at the foot of the desk. “Exchanges, exchanges,” said Good Times. “Wonder what he meant by ex- changes?” “Come on,” said Joyrider, “Let ' s find out what he means and perhaps we can have a little fun.” Good Times assented and Joyrider led the way. They searched for a few moments, climbed upon the editor ' s desk and ran right into a “Kyote.” They recovered from this shock and found themselves in the midst of a large assortment of fine magazines. Suddenly Joyrider reeled and fainted in amazement. He was soon revived and exclaimed, “I fell completely for that pretty girl in ‘The Lake Breeze ” “Well it certainly is a pretty cover design” said Good Times. “One of the best I have ever seen, but calm yourself, you will be waking the editor Let’s go inside.” “Some paper,” murmured Joyrider. “Hope we see this often. Just look at all the fine cuts and cartoons. It is a good all round paper. V11 have to leave word here for the editor, with this ‘Messenger telling him to send them a ‘Student ” “And just look at the large stack of papers, this must be what he meant by ‘exchanges We ' ll have to look at some more.” “Well, look here,” said Good Times, holding out the “Said and Done.” “These cover designs surely are clever and the wood block prints are very attractive. All their departments are well balanced. They have a right to be proud of it. I hope this comes again.” “Eternal shades!” exclaimed Joyrider, “but this tsory ‘Jeanne’ in the ‘Messenger ' is marvelous. It would be a credit to any magazine.” “Just look at the ‘Owl They have some fine stories. If they had a few cuts, it would greatly improve their paper.” All was quiet for a short time until Good Times spoke. “Look what I have found ; a letter and it ' s addressed to the ‘Student Just listen. “The Student: This semi-annual is well worth reading. Your cuts are very good.” ‘Tatler Marquette, Mich.” “O, that’s nothing,” said Joyrider, “Just listen to this one: ‘The Student: Words are useless in describing your last commencement number. We simply marvel ‘The Rutherfordian Rutherford, N. J.” Then after a few moments of silence Good Times burst forth in laughter. “What’s the matter now?” inquired his brother imp. “Carteret jokes?” “Ha, ha,” he laughed again. “Yes, it’s the ‘Carteret’ jokes. They’re so old that Adam must have sprung them on Eve. Surely they should be able to get fresher ones than these with so many freshies around.” “Be still. Xow look what we have done. The editor is awaking. Let us quickly take a list of these papers and come back some other time.” Following is the list. How we snatched it from the grasp of these imp- ish incarnations would be too long a story — but here it is — 4 Orange and Black,” Elgin, Illinois. “The Kyote,” Billings, Montana. “The Owl,” Park Ridge, New Jersey. “The Carteret ' Orange, New Jersey. “Tattler,” Marquette, Michigan. “Said and Done,” Muskegon, Michigan. “The Rutherfordian,” Rutherford, New Jersey. “Messenger,” Wichita, Kansas. “The Lake Breeze,” Sheboygan, Wisconsin. “The Reflector,” Jackson, Michigan. “The Pioneer,” South High School, Grand Rapids, Michigan. “The Collegiate,” Sarnia, Ontario. “The Heart Pulse,” Hart, Michigan. “The Central Digest,” Chattanooga, Tennessee. “The Holcad,” Michigan Agriculture. “College,” Lansing.

The Boy Who Didn ' t Pass A sad-faced little fellow sits alone in deep disgrace, There ' s a lump arising in his throat, tears streaming down his face: He wandered from his playmates, for he doesn ' t want to hear Their shouts of merry laughter, since the world has lost its cheer ; He has sipped the cup of sorrow, he has drained the hitter glass. And his heart is fairly breaking, lie ' s the boy who didn ' t pass. In the apple tree the robin sings a cheery little song. But he doesn’t seem to hear it, showing plainly something’s wrong: Comes his faithful little spaniel for a romp and bit of play. But the troubled little fellow sternly bids him go away. All alo ne he sits in sorrow, with his hair a tangled mass, And his eyes are red with weeping: he’s the boy who didn’t pass. How he hates himself for failing, he can hear his playmates jeer, For they ' ve left him with the dullards — gone ahead a half a year, And he tried so hard to conquer, oh, he tried to do his best, But now he knows he’s weaker, yes, and duller than the rest, He ' s ashamed to tell his mother, for he thinks she ' ll hate him, too — The little boy who didn’t pass, who failed in getting through. Oh, you who boast a laughing son, and speak of him as bright, And you who love a little girl who comes to you at night With smiling eyes, with dancing feet, with honors from her school, Turn to that lonely little boy who thinks he is a fool. And take him kindly by the hand, the dullest in his class. He is the one who most needs love, the boy who didn’t pass.
